After thinking about this for not that long, I will definitely develop the ADIF to DXCC Diamond conversion application, like I did for the CQ DX Marathon. This presumes I can generate a .CSV file that can be pasted into the ARRL spreadsheet without any difficulty. The effort will benefit everyone who can make an ADIF file, not just DX4WIN users.
Is there a strong need for a DX4WIN custom award also? Other than being able to generate a needs list, I don't see any other benefit, as it won't help filter DX cluster spots. 73 - Jim AD1C On Mon, Jan 9, 2012 at 7:40 AM, Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: > Hi Folks, > > I have been on vacation since 12/22 and just returned home yesterday. > It is going to take me a while to catch up on the E-mail I have > missed, so please be patient. > > I understand that the ARRL has released a new DXCC award for 2012 > called the Diamond DXCC: > > http://www.arrl.org/diamond-dxcc > > I have not read any of the reflector postings and have only skimmed > the award rules.
